Electric field profile for various types of electrodes
QuickField simulation example
The systems of electrodes used in industrial electrochemical processes are simulated. In many cases, the shape and dimensions of the electrodes are not standardized and are set during manufacture.
In this example the electrodes of rode, disc and spherical shapes are simulated.
Task type:
Axisymmetric problem of electrostatics.
Geometry
Given
Relative permeability of air ε = 1;
HV electrode potential = 1 kV.
Task
Determining field distribution of the different types of electrodes configuration.
Solution
In QuickField axis of rotation is placed horizontally. In the model we should draw only the cross-section located to one side of rotation axis.
Results
Electric field stress distribution in the air gap:
